Scientific paper

FS Aur is one of the very rare binaries showing a photometric period which is 2-3 times longer than the spectroscopically determined orbital period. Similary, GW Lib has an extremely short spectroscopic period, and a photometric modulation which is twice as long. Both systems may be a new kind of cataclysmic variable, since superhumps and superoutbursts, characteristic for their class of SU Uma stars, have not been found. X-ray observations of both systems are proposed to search for pulsations and the spectral signatures which are characteristic for intermediate polars.
